Like everybody, I've had a lot of pain in my life and I'm a work in progress. You must have a true desire to see the world from a different point of view, and that comes with growing up.

I try to leave a light footprint. I'm involved with Global Green, which aims to educate people about sustainable building and the greening of schools. I try to be aware about the consumption of unnecessary things in a consumptive culture.

I've had a great career. I've had a great life. I am truly blessed by my working experiences.

You know, I'm from the South, and I wasn't interested in perpetuating a stereotypical southern character.

If you ever get the opportunity to work with Quentin Tarantino, you had better believe that it will be an experience of extremes.

Quentin [Taranino] will say, "We've got it, but we're gonna do it one more time. Why?" And then, the entire cast and crew chimes in and says, "Because we love making movies!" He is a person who celebrates this form of expression, and it is evident in his movies, his conversations, his extensive knowledge about the history of what we do, and the actors and crew that he assembles.

I think I'm much too earnest to be as cool as 'Boyd Crowder'.
